After laughing, the atmosphere immediately quieted.Sophia stopped in her tracks, her eyes glowing with an intense murderous aura as they landed on Edward’s face.Jim opened his mouth but didn’t say anything, unsure how to respond.Even Rex, who had little awareness of romantic matters, understood. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head, “Sister Sophia, I think I’ll go take a shower in my room.”With that… the fresh meat bolted.“Hey, Rex—”Sophia reached out, wanting to stop him, but the boy darted away faster than a supersonic missile, disappearing in the blink of an eye.Edward continued to speak, his voice full of mockery, “Why did Rex run away? Feeling shy?”But when he turned his head and met Sophia’s fierce gaze, he jumped in shock, raising his hands in surrender, “...Don’t look at me like that, Miss Clarke, you’re making my i

Denny waved his hand dismissively, “Don’t worry, Lawrence has met Candice before. He knows she’s Charlie’s girlfriend, so it won’t be a problem when he sees her later. The main reason he’s here today is to see Edward. It won’t affect our conversation with Candice.”Beatrice seemed a little more reassured after hearing this.“I was just afraid that going to see a stranger would scare Candice.”Marlene laughed: "It's more scary for us to barge in early in the morning and 'surround' her, right?"“Brother is really something—keeping both old flames and new lovers in the same house,” came a lazy male voice, drifting over.Ollie gave his usual sarcastic comment.Denny shot him a glare, kicking him, “...What old flames! Ah! I’ll teach you to stop spreading rumors!”Ollie easily dodged the kick. “Their relationship isn’t a one-day thing

Charlie didn’t answer her question right away.His lips curled into a faint smile.He slowed the car down, pulling over to the shade of a tree, before turning to face her, starting his “guidance”... or rather, his “persuasion.”He raised his hand and gently smoothed the furrow in her brows, speaking in a calm, deep voice. "Don't frown like that.""When you think about things, don't be too negative. Otherwise, you'll end up in a dead end and create unnecessary worries for yourself.""The concerns you have now are just obstacles that are bound to happen.""Facing obstacles, you can't shrink back. You need to strike hard and fast. You have to seize the initiative immediately. Give a firm statement: This child is mine, and I'll make the decisions.""As for the surname, I understand that my consent doesn't really matter. It’s about you agreeing first, then me. As parents, our voices hold the most power.

Candice shot a look at Rex. You tipped him off again, didn’t you?The moment she heard “a visitor,” the first name that flashed across her mind was Charlie.Rex instantly caught the meaning in her gaze.“…Is it the young master? The moment you sent a message, he showed up? That fast?”“Who is it?” Bianca asked lazily.The butler replied, “It’s Mr. Makenzie. He said you scheduled a fitting with him today for the new ready-to-wear collection.”“Oh, Mr. Makenzie,” Bianca nodded, then frowned as she quickly pulled out her phone. “Wait—no, I wrote the 29th. Today’s only the 28th.”“Should I send him away then?”Bianca hesitated, pouting a little. Honestly, she was curious about the new pieces. “Forget it. Since he’s already here, let his car in. Bring him to the side hall on the first floor.”&l

Go back with him to Shandor?But he was from the Lawrence family!Candice’s nerves tightened instinctively. Her whole being resisted anything related to the Lawrence family. Before Charlie could speak, she hurriedly replied,“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lawrence, but I don’t want to leave Vanclyn. I don’t want to disrupt my current life.”Her tone was firm, though it carried a trace of unease she tried hard to cover.She was afraid that if she left… her world would be turned upside down, pulling her deeper into the vortex.Charlie noticed the way her calm surface hid the kind of tension one feels before battle. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders.“It’s just a suggestion. No one’s forcing you to go with him.”“Besides, he’s a living target himself. If you went with him, I’d worry even more.”The “living target” Edward:
